“I left my parents in full flesh. I returned to meet them as corpses”. These words from the main character in a Yoruba epic play could, as well,have been spoken by the former Chief Security Officer (CS0) to the late General Sani Abacha, Major Hamza Al-Mustapha, who returned from 14 years in jail to meet both parents, whom he left alive, dead. “I lost my father and mother whom I forced the authorities to allow me to see two times only in 14 years”, a tearful Al-Mustapha told Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso of Kano State whom he visited after he arrived Kano last Sunday.
He had about 48 hours earlier been set free by the Court of Appeal sitting in Lagos following his acquittal of the charge of murdering Alhaja Kudirat Abiola, the wife of the winner of the June 12, 1993 presidential

President Goodluck Jonathan, who paid an emergency visit to his

It was a beautiful Saturday morning, I was garbed in a pair of jeans, on

denim jacket. I had been attacked by men of the underworld the night

Now Mathew Oluwanifemi, Shina Rambo was a name that sent shivers down
the spine of people who lived in the South West of Nigeria and even
outside Nigeria, like Benin Republic and neighborhood, in the 1990’s.
Whenever the name Bisi Ibidapo-Obe is mentioned, one just have to
remember her love-child drama with Hon Dino Melaye, who she claimed
impregnated her and, as such, the father of her baby.
Below is what she said about Dino Melaye's current place in her life and
her encounter with notorious men in the movie marketing sector who want
to "shop her thing" before helping her: Did you ever consider abortion as an option then?

To make wealth is an achievement; the way it is spent is style. In most
cases, successful individuals who have created wealth through wise and
diligent investments in business hardly squander their money.
They usually prefer to reinvest their capital, including the accrued
profit over the years, into their businesses to increase their asset
base and level of affluence...
The tendency, therefore, is that the richer they are, the more their
business interests expand. In line with this corporate tradition, the
rich investors get richer and, when they spend, they do so in a big way
worthy of mention. This is because of the extensive attention attracted
by their rare wherewithal and will to spend, including doling out money
on humanitarian grounds. Among Nigeria’s privileged people are:

JoaquÃn Alcaraz Gracia claimed the title of beer drinking champ
during a festival in Spain Wednesday, but his victory was short-lived.
The 45-year-old man died after the beer drinking contest, during which he reportedly consumed six liters of brew (about 12.5 pints) in 20 minutes.
According to local reports, Gracia won the drinking festival's top prize
and hoisted his trophy into the air. But the event, held in the Gea y
Truyols district of Murcia, took a tragic turn soon after when Gracia
began to vomit and didn't stop.
At that time, witnesses called emergency services, believing Gracia was suffering from alcohol poisoning.
Seated in a chair, Gracia was held upright while bystanders waited for
medical personnel. Observers noted

Edward Snowden, the leaker of NSA surveillance documents, was granted asylum in Venezuela on Friday. With

levels of government don’t know what to do about UFOs, and the official
story that they are all merely weather balloons or natural phenomena has
been clearly dismissed.
If anything, these documents speak about

it turns out, the most credible and inexplicable sightings are of

President Barack
Obama has said that "Trayvon Martin could have been me, 35 years ago",
in his first comments on the case since last week's verdict. The unarmed
black 17-year-old was shot and killed in Florida in February 2012.George
Zimmerman, 29, said he opened fire on the teenager in self-defence and
was acquitted of murder by a Florida court last week.
In an unexpected press call, Mr Obama said very few black men in the US had not experienced racial profiling.
Barack
Obama might be America's first black president, but it's rare for him
to address the issue of race head-on like this. This was the first time
he'd spoken publicly about the Trayvon Martin case since the jury found
George Zimmerman not guilty of murder.
The
president didn't pass comment on their decision, but said he wanted to
add context to the issue of race.

the existence of a central authority in Judah during the time of King David."

experienced pains at one point or another. And so many of us know what
it is like to experience severe aches and pains in the back, leg or
head, even for a short while. Painkillers
are often taken for temporary relief, but it is common for people
living with chronic pain to become dependent or addicted to painkillers.
Yes,
it is not just cocaine or heroin that people abuse; thousands of
Nigerians are in the grip of a deadly drug addiction — to everyday
painkillers commonly known as analgesic.
Though
these drugs give short relief, doctors warn that overdependence on them
may create greater health challenge than users can handle.
